    As promised I have the finished and mounted pump bracket.

    Here is the bracket painted and with the mounting bolts installed:

    Test fit with the pump:

    Pump installed with the Velcro:

    Pump bolted down:

    Another view:


    Now to mount the bracket to the case.
    I drilled the two holes and test mounted it, fits perfectly:

    I then cut the bolts to size and attached foam strip to the back of the bracket to help with the vibrations:

    Bracket installed:

    And finally the pump installed on the bracket:



    YAY all done lol. The pump sits a bit wobbly which is annoying me. I am cut the copper spacers on the pump mounting bolts down a bit to add some more tension to the pump base. At the moment it is slightly lifting the pump up.

    Well that's all I have for you now guys. With 2 2000 word essays due Friday I guess I won't have an update before the end of the week but I may do something this weekend, depends if I am droving in assignments. Until then...

    Happy Modding.

    LOL. The last thing you want is a lose pump vibrating your whole case. It sounds like when you leave your mobile on vibrate on a wooden surface lol.

    Thanks for the comments guys.

    Well guys don't I have a nice treat for you all today. This one comes in the form of A COMPLETED CASE!!!

    Yesterday while I was waiting for a few mates to come over so we could continue with one of our media studies assignments I got an itch. Not an itch that could easily be scratched...I got the modding itch. I decided it was time to put my poor old LEXA back together.

    First there were a few minor alterations that needed to be taken care of.

    I had to slightly modify one of the front case feet to allow rivets to be inserted underneath it. This meant simply drilling a hole and countersinking it:


    Next I had to cut a small bit of the radiator grommets to allow the drive bays to sit flat:


    And finally I had to grind a bit off the HDD bay cover so it would sit flush with the base of the case:


    And now, the moment you have all been waiting for. The case in all it's glory!!!
    Windowed side panel on:

    Windowed side panel off:

    A shot of the drive bays:

    A shot of the rear:

    And the underside of the case:


    Well I hope you all enjoyed that, I tell you what, I sure did lol. Even thought he case is constructed there are still a few more things that need to be done before my hardware can call it home. This coming week is the last of school before a 2 week break before exams. I have a lot of work to do in the first week on the holidays but should hopefully get LEXA finally completed before I have to go in for my practice exams. Until then...

    Happy Modding.
